Description
Strabo's Geography in 17 books provides a comprehensive account of the world as known to him. Written by Strabo, an Asiatic Greek who studied at Rome and traveled extensively throughout Italy, the Near East, Egypt, Greece, and parts of Asia Minor, Africa, and India. The work is structured around geographical regions, with separate sections covering Spain and Gaul, Italy and Sicily, north and east Europe, Greek lands, Asia, Asia Minor, India and Iran, Assyria, Babylonia, Syria, Arabia, Egypt, and Africa. Strabo's approach combines mathematical precision with detailed descriptions of physical features, politics, and history. This edition is part of the Loeb Classical Library series, offering a valuable source of information on ancient geography and mathematics, particularly in relation to Eratosthenes, Hipparchus, and Posidonius.
